My Christmastale 2005
This
is how it ended:
Hello, I hope that you spent
lovely holidays with your families and
friends....
Here, the "fiestas" were calm except for the noisy
fireworks in the
village....many dogs having been scared, so I
stayed with them....and I started the year with all
of my dear "doggies", a lot of chicken and sausages
were the menu of the New Year.....
And Tiger, the marvellous Tiger of my Christmas
story....A Happy End for this lovely big dog...he
has been adopted!!
After all these years of sheer misery, here is our
Tiger in the warmth of a Spanish family. By
whom and with whom - LOLA FROM CORDOBA, she who
found him, saved him and finally loved him to the
extent of not been able to be separated from him.
Thank you, all of you, who sent me such a great
number of mails expressing your sympathy for
Tiger.....
You cannot imagine the joy....and why not say
it...the happiness to see in our large Forum our
efforts being compensated by so many adoptions....which
I will come across again.....so that you will help
me to save all of these dogs whose only fault
was to love their owners.....

Tiger
Tiger wasn't abandoned, not as a puppy nor as an adult, because Tiger was born in the street, in the middle of mud , in a manure heap.
He is alive because, as they say, poverty either kills or strengthens. He neither knew an owner nor, I believe, did he know who was his
mother because he was born in a colony of stray dogs,
surrounded by rubbish, and became an adult in the middle of manure and hunger.
He suffered the stoning by children, the kicking by the adults, the mockery of the passers-by and the rejection by society, he was not lucky enough to be a beautiful pure bred.
But Tiger was lucky to run across Lola of Cordoba's
path, who rescued him from the streets. Lola, because of various circumstances, cannot go on
sheltering him and this poor animal, so ignored by
the divine hand, needs some one to take an interest in him and his so very sad life. Someone who can give him a home where he can begin to learn that there exists another
world, very far away from the misery he had been
living in.
He is a good natured dog inborn not learned. A wretched creature, fearful, but an immense heart, full of tenderness. Even the
children
attack him because he doesn't defend himself. The
puppies play with him
and bite him without a single grumble from him.
If nothing is done quickly to get him out of there, we don't know what his life will be like. I beg you, please, to broadcast his sad case and between all of us we will find an adopter for him. I have pledged to collaborate with the payment in a residence while a home is found for him and you can all contribute to provide a little bit of happiness.
This will be my Christmas story this year. Maybe you have met Tiger on the side of the motorway. His story merits
to be read...maybe you will find a little spot to welcome and give a little bit of tenderness
and happines to this homeless one...
The History of Tiger
It is the same as that of many of our doggies, Tiger was abandoned in Ciudad Hospitalaria where Lola Delgado works and the Pound took him away, his end to be death. There he was very apprehensive and she went , during
a whole week, from 9 o'clock in the morning until closing time to make him
trust her , but impossible, he was so frightened. She got a Veterinary who put him to sleep and took him to her house. He isolated himself, stayed under a Bayleaf tree and the, little by little, he let us come closer. Now he is looking for us and we hug and kiss him - quite an achievement after one year.
